The molecular framework of (3aS,5aS,6R,9aR,9bS)-Dodecahydro-3a,6-dimethyl-3,7-dioxo-1H-benz[e]indene-6-propanoic Acid 4-Nor-3,5-seco-5,17-dioxoandrostan-3-oic Acid 5,17-Dioxo-3,5-seco-A-norandrostan-3-oic Acid 6857-88-1 [3aS-(3a|A,5a|A,6|A,9a|A,9b|A)]-Dodecahydro-3a,6-dimethyl-3,7-dioxo-1H-benz[e]indene-6-propanoic Acid (C18H26O4) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
CATO supplies (3aS,5aS,6R,9aR,9bS)-Dodecahydro-3a,6-dimethyl-3,7-dioxo-1H-benz[e]indene-6-propanoic Acid 4-Nor-3,5-seco-5,17-dioxoandrostan-3-oic Acid 5,17-Dioxo-3,5-seco-A-norandrostan-3-oic Acid 6857-88-1 [3aS-(3a|A,5a|A,6|A,9a|A,9b|A)]-Dodecahydro-3a,6-dimethyl-3,7-dioxo-1H-benz[e]indene-6-propanoic Acid (CAS 6857-88-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H26O4, MW 306.40 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
